Daybreak Lyrics

She told me things that froze my blood cold

She said the world would fall and all the light of gold

Would be tarnished in the sweep of time

And all the wolves would tear the flesh from bone

"The sun turns black

The earth is drowned in storm

The stars from heaven burst

And shine no more

Fires grow cold,

Blades go dull,

Mothers throw their children

In the maw"

But I pledged this feeble will to fight,

I reject the downfall that she prophesied

But it must be lies, it must be lies

I see the sunburst flash in the golden skies

I see the darkness flee before the break of night

I see the sun, I see it rise

It rides like rolling thunder across crimson skies

So don't tell me lies, Don't tell me lies

I see the star of morning

it crowns the highest heights

So don't tell me lies, Don't tell me lies!

But it must be lies, it must be lies

I see the sunburst flash in the golden skies

I see the darkness flee before the break of night

I see the sun, I see it rise

The waters split

The ground is cleansed in flame

Birds of prey fly high

And hunt their game

The First Men walk again

And stake their claim

They build their towers and walls

And bestow their names

Then in tall grass

They find the golden shards

Of those who came before,

Those who played their part

Beneath the sunrise

It stands so tall

The day will dawn, the earth is blessed with rain and all

The stars of heaven shine bright Upon the plain

Blazing pyres hearth drawn Fires forever roar in flame

But it must be lies, it must be lies

I see the sunburst flash in the golden skies

I see the darkness flee before the break of night

I see the sun, I see it rise

It rides like rolling thunder across crimson skies

So don't tell me lies, Don't tell me lies

I see the star of morning

it crowns the highest heights

So don't tell me lies, Don't tell me lies!
